Mars Davis - Grateful (feat. Essence Simmons)

I'm tired of being broke
I make a stack and a half every couple weeks but I look at my check like where it go
Pay Uncle Sam and a couple bills and then it's gone
Oh I forgot the bank fees yeah we were overdrawn
No lunch packed for the nine to five so my stomach groans
And we behind in rent and never paid on student loans
Credit card company calling me blowing up my phone
My pockets empty I'm feeling poor my wife say I'm wrong
She say we struggling, because we been robbing the Lord
What? is He keeping score what He need money for
I utter poverty she tell me that I'm tripping
If we rich then why we eligible for assistance
If we rich then why we eating at the soup kitchen
I wish were rich maybe life would be different
Remember, when things were more simple
Maybe money management is our issue, maybe
Maybe I need to hit a lick
Maybe I need another job
Maybe I should just up and quit
Maybe it's just too much to solve
Maybe I need to hit a lick
Maybe I need another job
Maybe I should just up and quit
Maybe it's just too much to solve
Maybe I need to hit a lick
Maybe I need another job
Maybe I should just up and quit
Maybe it's just too much to solve
Maybe I need to hit a lick
Maybe I need another job
Maybe I should just up and quit
Maybe it's just too much to solve
I'm blessed to have a steady cash flow
I make a stack and a half every couple weeks I should be glad bro
That's more payola I've ever made in my past bro
My God is higher than my problems they won't last bro
This aint a game aint Milton Bradley or Hasbro
Roof over my head and a bed to lay my back on
I can still call Him if my phone was disconnected
It's never neglected it was his son who gave the credit
He bless me with everything I have so I'm indebted
The world is His never forget it
You would think my knee was twisted the way the boy was tripping
We resting in Christ's hands that's what I call riches
That's what I call wealthy and my family healthy
Got saved by the cross not the bell no Mr. Belding
Remember, when things were more simple
Maybe ungratefulness was my issue, maybe
Maybe I should just stop and think
all things brought He brought me through
My life could be gone in a blink
Without a voice to bring to you
Maybe I should just stop and think
all things brought He brought me through
My life could be gone in a blink
Without a voice to bring to you
Maybe I should just stop and think
all things brought He brought me through
My life could be gone in a blink
Without a voice to bring to you
Maybe I should just stop and think (Maybe I, Maybe I)
all things brought He brought me through (Should think about the things you brought me through)
My life could be gone in a blink (Maybe I, Maybe I)
Without a voice to bring to you (Should think about the things you brought me through)
Maybe I should think about all the things you done for me
How far you brought me you sent your son for me
Maybe I should think about where I could have been should have been
But you're my friend and you shed your smile on me
